Columnist soft-pedaled the numbers

Froma Harrop's column, "Eyes Will Dry Over Obamacare," [Voices, Nov. 7] paints a rosy if only slightly flawed picture of Obamacare, saying, "A small percentage of people are seeing their private policies canceled." Oh? Could Harrop be unaware of the following?

In 2010, Health and Human Services reported that 93 million Americans would lose their health insurance under Obamacare. However, President Obama has repeatedly told us for the last three years, if you like your insurance, you can keep it, period. Hadn't he heard, or did he simply "misspeak?"

While officially called The Affordable Care Act, the Cato Institute reports that health insurance premiums will be higher under this act in 45 states.

The Los Angeles Times wrote that middle-class income families in California will pay 30 percent more in premiums.

And according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index, 85 percent of Americans were happy with their medical insurance plans before Obamacare.

Will government bureaucrats make wise decisions about our health care, just as they did with Solyndra, Social Security and public education? From the people who brought you the postal service, here comes Obamacare!
